IN rHEDAYs WHEN WAS HARD.Up.

In the days when was hard-up, not many
suffered that which only can the sons Of
misery know;
Relations, friends, 1pmpanions, they all tur-
ned up their nose,
And they rated me vagabond for want OF
better clothes. 81
In the days when was hard up, for want of
food and fire,
used to tic my shoes up with little bits OF
wire;
When hungry, cold, cast on rock, and
could not get meal,
How oft I've beat the devil down for tcmpt-
ing me to steal.
In the days when Twas hard up,for furniture
and drugs,
Many q summers night I've held cOmmun.
ion with the bugs;
never faced them with pike, or smashed
them on the wall,
said the world was wide enough, there's
room enough for all.
In the day when was hard up, / used to
lock my door, s
For fear the landlady should say you can't
:, lodge here no more,
ten feet by six,
In the work house wall just opposite, I've
counted all the bricks.
IN tne UayS W0en was naTu up, DOWeU my
spirits down,
And often have sought friend to borrow
half-a-crOwn;
How many are there in this world whose
evils can scan,
The shabby suit Of toggery, but can not see
the man. Ef
In the days when was hard up, found q
blissful hope,
It's all poor mans heritage to keep him
from the rope;
Now I've found good old maxim, and this
shall be my plan,
Altho' wear ragged coat, I'll wear II like

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
eliminates in Matrimony on the Third
Meeting.

Among all the fair and fascinating
young bellies in attendance on the ball
at Mullins Hall, in Grenada, on the
l1th day of August last, (the day of
the reunion of Armstrong; brigade)
none were fairer or more attractive
than Miss Dora f. Kelly, of Coffee
vile. Among all the gay gallants
who participated in the festivities of
the same joyous occasion, none were
gayer than Jas. S. Evans, Jr., travel
ing agent of the New Orleans Plea
yune. At this time and place this
couple met, and from subsequent de.
velopments it would seem to have
been clearly-defined well-authenti-
Gated case of love at first sight. After
few dances and promenades they
parted, each to dream Of the other,
but neither knowing when they
might meet again. Last week Miss
Dora came down to Grenada, as she
frequently has done, to visit friends.
1t so happened that Mr.. Evans was
ordered to Grenada last Saturday to
write up Cindas Band, for his paper.
On reaching Grenada he learned that
Miss Kelly was in the city, and hav-
ing obtained permission, called on her
Next day, Sunday, he escorted her to
and the same day bade her
farewell. He must have made good
use of his time, however, for on Tues
day night last he went up to Coffee
vile, and for the first time called on
the young lady at her own home, ,and
met her parents. The old folks OBJ
jected to such a precipitate style of
doing business. but their objections
were over-ruled, and the next morn
ing about ten o'clock, the two throb-
oing hearts were made one. They
eft shortly after on the south-bound
rain for Durant. The next morning.
Thursday, they came back to attend
he reunion at Duck Hill, where we
presume they are at this writing.
The GAZETTE extends to tile happy
couple its very best congratulations,
md wishes them every realization of
heir brightest dreams.

A New Orleans firm advertised in

A New Orleans firm advertised in
last Saturdays Times-Democrat for
a book-keeper, and adds by way OF
postscript: "No cigarette smoking
young man need apply" A Cincin-
natl house in need of male help .ex-
tends the prescription to "any person
connected with bicycling or baseball
ing" and in New York one day last
week thirty-six clerks were discharg-
ed for frequenting pool-rooms, all of
which leads us to inquire If the boys
have, any rights at all which their
bosses are bound to respect. II this
thing is carried much farther they
will object to a boys having a best
girl, and then indeed will Rome be
made to howl. 1t is hardly necessary
to add that most of the bowling in
the case will be done by the girl.

The business men of Dallas, Texas,
subscribed $4,000 in cash, temporary
quarters and building site to the
Alliance Cotton Exchange, to secure
its location in that city. Evidently
the business men of Dallas are wise
in their generation, and fully recog-
nize the magnitude and Importance
of the Alliance movement. 1t is well
they do, for the Alliance is fast alb
sorbing all the other agricultural

The old folks and donkey party,
given by Miss Annie Hall, in honor
of Miss Dora Kennedy, on Tuesday
night last, was the crowning effort
of the season, and heartily enjoyed
by all. The costumes were highly
entertaining and comical in this age,
and brought rounds of applause as
every new conner was announced.
We verify thought we were living
over again the days of Noah. At 10
o'clock refreshments were passed
around in good old-time style, and
were enjoyed. The locating of the
donkeys ears was also highly pleas
ing, and prizes were awarded to Mr..
Albert Milton and Miss Julia May,
The time for departure came but too
early, and after bidding adieu to our
fair young hostess we left hoping to
enjoy another such occasion soon. y
